How to use MemoFS with JetBrains Junie

JetBrains Junie (IntelliJ, PyCharm, WebStorm, GoLand) supports project guidelines and MCP tools. You can generate your AGENTS.md rules file directly with npx @memofs/cli generate agent-rules agents and register the MemoFS MCP server in Junie's MCP Settings.

Setup (5 Minutes)

Step 1: Initialize project memory

cd /path/to/your/project
npx @memofs/cli init

Step 2: Create a rules file

npx @memofs/cli generate agent-rules agents --project-name "Your project name"

Junie's guidelines convention has shifted across versions — check current Junie docs for the exact filename it auto-loads, and copy the generated AGENTS.md body there.

Step 3: Register the MCP server

Project-level: .junie/mcp/mcp.json. Global: ~/.junie/mcp.json.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "memofs": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@memofs/mcp-server"]
    }
  }
}

Or through the IDE: Settings → Tools → Junie → MCP Settings → Add. On the CLI, use the guided path instead — run /mcp inside a Junie CLI session, which launches the MCP Installation Assistant and can add the server for you from a registry entry.

Step 4: Verify

/mcp (Junie CLI) or the MCP Settings panel (IDE) should list memofs as connected. Ask Junie to check project memory.

Notes

• No hooks in the IDE plugin — no auto-priming, no compliance summary. AGENTS.md/guidelines content is doing all the work.

• Semantic search.
• Team memory sync.
